DURABILITY, STABILITY, RELIABILITY.
TUF Gaming series motherboards are highly reliable devices created and tested to operate in particularly harsh conditions. Thanks to the selected element base, they will provide maximum computer stability during long gaming sessions.
By choosing such a board, you will also be able to take advantage of the TUF Gaming Alliance program, within which ASUS, together with its partners, offers original solutions aimed at improving component compatibility, simplifying computer assembly and providing more opportunities for its personalization.
DRMOS POWER MODULES.
The processor power system implemented on the TUF Gaming B550M-Plus motherboard uses 8+2 DrMOS power modules, each of which contains a driver, lower and upper MOSFET keys. Thanks to such integration of components, increased efficiency is achieved, which is necessary for the stable operation of AMD Ryzen third-generation processors.
PROCOOL CONNECTOR. IMPROVED 8-CONTACT POWER CONNECTOR.
Special ProCool power connectors implemented on ASUS motherboards guarantee reliable cable connection, reduced electrical resistance and improved heat dissipation, compared to standard ones.
TUF CHOKES.
Meeting strict military-industrial standards, TUF chokes deliver maximum stable current to the central processor, which improves the overall reliability of the computer.
TUF CAPACITORS.
Exclusive capacitors boast increased heat resistance and increased lifespan.
DIGI+ VOLTAGE STABILIZER.
The digital power system implemented on this motherboard provides stable operation and high energy efficiency.
SAFESLOT TECHNOLOGY.
SafeSlot is a special way of attaching a PCIe slot based on additional internal metal elements that provide increased strength and resistance to deformation during installation and removal of the expansion card.
ESD GUARDS.
To protect against electrostatic discharge, ASUS uses a special protective circuit capable of withstanding a discharge of up to 10 kV through the air and up to 6 kV during contact (industry standard - +/- 6 kV and +/- 4 kV, respectively).
TUF LANGUARD.
The wired Ethernet network connector on TUF series motherboards is additionally protected against electrostatic discharge and voltage surges.
MEMORY ELECTROSTATIC PROTECTION.
To prevent overcurrent and short circuits on the motherboard, built-in fuses are used. They protect all components of the device, starting from peripheral connectors and ending with memory slots.
REAR PANEL MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL.
The rear panel of ASUS motherboards is made of stainless steel, coated with a thin layer of chromium oxide, which has anti-corrosion properties. Thanks to this, it boasts a long service life, confirmed by appropriate tests.
WI-FI 6.
The motherboard is equipped with a controller that meets the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard and has a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 1.2 Gbps. The controller is optimized for efficient operation in crowded networks, when a large number of client devices share a common channel. To unlock the full potential of the Wi-Fi 6 standard, use an ASUS Wi-Fi 6 router.
2.5G ETHERNET CONTROLLER.
The built-in 2.5G Ethernet standard controller allows you to increase the speed of the wired network connection using the current cable infrastructure. Lag-free online games, pause-free video streaming, file transfer without long waiting - all this awaits you when switching to the new Ethernet standard.
TURBO LAN.
The Turbo LAN traffic manager with cFosSpeed network traffic management technology allows you to easily reduce lag during online gaming through a convenient software interface.
Instant acceleration. Choose the highest priority with one click.
Automatic game addition. Automatic recognition of gaming applications.
Cooling system.
1. VRM RADIATOR
A large and massive radiator is installed in the area of the voltage stabilizer module and chokes.
2. THERMAL INTERFACE
A high-performance thermal interface is used to transfer heat from the power elements to the radiator.
3. M.2 RADIATOR
Thanks to a special radiator, the solid-state drive installed in the M.2 slot will be able to show its maximum performance without the risk of overheating.
M.2 INTERFACE IN PCIE 4.0 MODE (64 GBPS).
Thanks to the presence of an M.2 connector operating in PCIe 4.0 mode, the user can connect modern high-speed solid-state drives to the TUF Gaming B550 series board. It is possible to combine installed drives into a high-speed RAID array.
USB 3.2 GEN2 (TYPE-A AND TYPE-C).
Gaming computers usually use a large number of peripheral devices, and this motherboard offers a plethora of ports for their connection in the form of Type-A and Type-C connectors.
